Was the floppy disc typically 90’s?

[–] viking@infosec.pub 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

80's, early 90's. I think from '92 or so onwards, CD-ROM drives became standard equipment for home computers, but until the late 90's they still came equipped with a floppy drive, if only to boot into recovery mode after a crash.

No. The "just say no" push was something I can't forget.
